This Canadian girl was born into a poor family in the northern Ontario town of Timmins. She had a difficult childhood in which violence was common and enough food to eat was rare. In spite of it, she became the world's best-selling country singer. She describes a lot of what goes on behind the scenes and shares her desperate grief when her parents died when she was 21 and then when her marriage ended 21 years later.

While I'm not a big country fan, I found Shania's story very interesting and I even listened to a few of the songs she mentioned in the book. I did find one mistake: on page 202, she talks about hunting "Ontario forest foul" instead of fowl. She also says 3 or 4 times that she has been a vegetarian for 18 years; once would probably have been enough. I don't mean to be picky though; it was a pretty good book.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should say that there is some pretty crude language and bad situations in this book that some may find offensive.… (plus d'informations)

I’m a huge fan of Shania Twain and her music. Over the summer I watched a reality show on the O channel chronicling her life and inspirational story, and I had a new found respect for her as a person not just a singer.

From This Moment On is Shania’s story in her own words, and though sometimes she randomly goes off course she is honest in telling us her childhood and heartbreak over her husband’s infidelity and best friends betrayal. If you don’t know her husband had an affair with her best friend, and I believe they are still together now. She is now happily married to her best friend’s ex-husband. It’s slightly Jerry Springer, but this is how the cards laid out for her and she rolled with the punches.

I was amazed at how much she has been through. She had a rough childhood, and then took responsibility for her sister and brothers after her parents were killed in a car accident. She also talks about her singing career, and the process her and Mutt had in making her hugely commercial hit album Come On Over.
From This Moment On is a really great honest memoir. If you are a fan of Shania Twain or just a fan of somebody making it through all odds, you will enjoy this book.… (plus d'informations)
